Flourish: Gentle Yoga & Breath at Denver Botanic Gardens
Flourish sets aside an hour for gentle yoga, meditation and breathwork. Instructor Catherine Wetenkamp brings a wider teaching practice that includes Kriya Yoga, movement and storytelling; for the listed November and December dates, the class meets indoors at Denver Botanic Gardens.
A broad format, with room to ask about adaptations
The Gardens describes Flourish as an all-levels class for adults. Its announcement names the three practices but does not give a pose sequence or a particular breathing method, so the listing is a general guide to the class rather than a detailed account of its techniques.
The Gardens says classes can be adapted for most accommodations. If a specific movement or access need will affect your decision to attend, contact the Gardens ahead of time to discuss it.

Wetenkamp has led trainings and retreats internationally and taught settings ranging from Yoga on the Rocks to professional athletes, including the Denver Broncos.

The late-year dates move indoors
For November and December, the class is scheduled in Classroom 1 of the Freyer–Newman Center. The Gardens’ location schedule places the series in the West Terrace Tent from June 12 through September 18, then back in the classroom for October 16 through December 18.
The Freyer–Newman Center is also home to a library, galleries, classrooms and natural-history and art collections, and the Gardens describes it as a place where art and science meet. Those facilities are part of the building’s broader offer, not announced activities in the yoga class.
